MS Forms "Section/(s) Loop"
Good Morning MS community Is there a feature in Forms that allows certain section or sections to be repeated? e.g. For Section 1 - respondent enters his credentials, then goes through succeed...

QIMD_San I've had to do this before and had to replicate the sections... it just depends how many scenarios (and questions per section) you have.
Have you an example of the form you could 'share as a template'?

- QIMD_SanNov 29, 2023Copper ContributorGraham Kelly - I agree, here's what i did as a work around, the credentials section (current section 1) i've put to the last, then for the current 2nd section (i've made it the 1st section) up to the current last section then added 1 more section that asks the inspector "new area" or "enter credentials" (9 inspection sections total).
These 9 sections i've copied 10x with the added section having the following branching
"new area" - this loops back to the start of the "9 inspection sections" up to 10x
"enter credentials" - this goes to the credentials section which i have put to the very last and which after filling up will have the submit button.
With this the inspector can make 10 inspections with having to only enter credentials once every 10 inspections, minimizing the times credentials are entered. (i can add more loop but my concern is the form being bagged down due to number of sections as well as the gadget that the inspector is using).
